Clayton Tune

25-Year-Old QuarterbackQB
Arizona Cardinals
2024 Fantasy Outlook
As a 2023 fifth-round pick, Tune was in a position to see the field early in his career due to Kyler Murray's recovery from a torn ACL extending into the regular season. However, the Cardinals released Colt McCoy and traded for Joshua Dobbs in late August, and the latter ended up starting the first eight games before he was shipped to Minnesota. Tune then started Week 9, completing 11 of 20 passes for 58 yards and two interceptions before yielding to Murray for the rest of the year. Arizona acquired Desmond Ridder from the Falcons this offseason, but Tune ended up winning a summer competition for the No. 2 QB job. Read Past Outlooks

Backup duty to begin season
QBArizona Cardinals
August 29, 2024
Tune is in line to begin the 2024 season as the Cardinals' No. 2 QB behind starter Kyler Murray, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
In the midst of roster cuts this week, Arizona waived Desmond Ridder on Tuesday before signing him to the practice squad one day later. The move left Murray and Tune as the only signal-callers on the active roster, indicating their respective standings among the group. Tune, a 2023 fifth-round pick, made seven appearances (one start) last season, completing 12 of 21 passes for 62 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions, rushing eight times for 30 yards and one TD and fumbling twice (one lost).

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Under normal circumstances, Tune would ride the bench to begin his NFL career as a fifth-round rookie quarterback. However, the QB situation in Arizona may allow him to get playing time early on. Kyler Murray will miss at least the first four games to complete his rehab from an ACL tear, while veteran backup Colt McCoy was released two weeks before the start of the regular season. The Cardinals thus appear set to play Tune and/or Joshua Dobbs for the first few games of what looks to be a rebuilding year.

Locks down backup spot
QBArizona Cardinals
August 28, 2024
Tune is slated to open the season as the backup to Kyler Murray, as the Cardinals waived Desmond Ridder on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Ridder was the favorite to snag the second spot on the quarterback depth chart after being acquired via trade from the Falcons in March, but Tune beat out the 2022 second-round pick during the preseason. Tune, a 2023 fifth-round draft pick out of Houston, is the only quarterback other than Murray to make Arizona's 53-man roster.
